For the past few months, Andy Mac has been very busy competing on the contest circuit all over the world. This vert skating superstar has podiumed at every competition he has entered and there is no stopping him. Andy started the season off with a bang, winning a Gold medal at the X Games Asia for the second year in a row. He again killed it at X Games 15 in Los Angeles winning a Bronze medal in the Vert contest and a Silver medal in the Skate Park contest. Andy can now claim 19 X Games medals, more than any other skater out there. You can also find Andy competing at all of the Dew Tour stops where he is currently ranked 2nd overall with two more stops to go.

August marked the launch of the new footwear collaboration between Airwalk and street style icon jeffstaple.  A collaboration worthy of the Past. Present. Now. launch party in the Big Apple.....jeffstaple’s back yard!  OpenHouse Gallery in NYC was host to a one-night-only, full scale exhibition that took visitors through Airwalk’s history, from the nascent stages of skate culture back in the mid 1980’s, to today’s mash-up/street-culture-minded generation to the jeffstaple-designed STPLxAirwalk collection.  The exhibit was a living time capsule of Airwalk that led guests through the origins of the brand in 1986, to the “NOW” STPLxAirwalk project – an important part of the brands future!

Over 400 guests including top bloggers and media to tastemakers and Airwalk fans came out to check out the exhibit, listen to beats by DJ Neil Armstrong and take a peak at the new footwear collection.   Sponsors Pabst Blue Ribbon, 42 Below and TY KU handled the party spirits and the party went off!
